Answer 2

Here, we are going to record the first installment payment, second installment payment on and calculate the balance of Notes Payable and Interest Expense.

Date                Account and explanation           Debit         Credit  

Jan 1, 2021      Land                                         $800,000

                              Notes payable                                      $800,000

                        (To record purchase land)

Date                   Account and explanation        Debit       Credit

June 30, 2021   Interest expense                      $24,000

                          (800000*6%*6/12)

                          Notes payable                          $191,221.64

                                 Cash                                                        $215,221.64

                          (To record installment paid)

Dec 31, 2021    Interest expense                        $18,263.35

                        [(800000-191221.64)*6%]

                         Notes payable                            $196,958.29

                                Cash                                                           $215,221.64

                        (To record amount paid)

Interest expense on December 31 = $24,000 + $18,263.25

Interest expense on December 31 = $42,263.25

Notes payable = $800,000 - $191,221.64 - $196,958.29

Notes payable = $411,820.07
